“Agreed — but there is a reason paramedics call motorcycles “donor-cycles.””

Because they are idiots? Inconvenient fact. The majority of donors (head injury victims) come from inside cars.

I’m working on an insensitive joke for this thread with the punchline “no eye deer”. I need some help.

That is probably because cars are a hundred times more abundant than motorcycles are on the roads. There are probably also more car accident victims than Russian Roulette victims in any given year, but that fact doesn’t make driving more dangerous than playing Russian Roulette.

Say 100 people drive or ride in cars, and 10 drive or ride on motorcycles.

If five car people die of head injuries and only one motorcycle person dies of head injuries, what have we learned?

That the vast majority of head injury deaths happen in cars (83%!) and that 100% more head injury deaths happen on motorcycles than in cars.

It could be that the fatal head injury victims of motorcycle accidents are not in good enough shape to be donors.
